Podcast Description

As hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and global travelers we are all very aware of the dangers that lurk in and around the lifestyle we have chosen. As hardcore bowhunters, we are all well versed in what it means to be "safe" in the field. We have first aid kits, personal beacons, and we know CPR (hopefully).

But regardless of our training and our awareness of safety in the field, it is very important for all of us to ponder the "worst case scenario". We don't like to think of it, but we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have a "plan" on what to do if a hunting trip (or a family vacation for that matter) goes wildly wrong.

On this episode of BowCast Anthony and Aneal have the privilege of being joined with two U.S. Navy Seals who lend their services to a company called Global Rescue. Carter Gaffney and Glen Dougherty work for Global Rescue and share with the BowCast listeners how you can ensure, without a shadow of a doubt, that if you get into a situation you need help to handle, you are covered. Specifically on this episode, BowCast covers:

1) How would you pay for helicopter or life flight rescue if you need it?

2) If you found yourself in a foreign country and in need of a reputable english speaking doctor, how you find that doctor?

3) If you were in a bad car accident many miles from home, how could your family ensure that you got the care you needed as well as transportation back to you home doctors?

4) If you had an accident in the backcountry, what is the quickest way to get help?

5) If you were sick in a foreign country, who could you call to get an appropriate remedy over the phone?

Global Rescue provides a service that is quite frankly a no brainer for those of us bow hunt and statistically put ourselves in situations that increase the chances of the potential of an accident. It's complete peace of mind to know that you are part of a service that will bend over backwards to ensure your safe return - whether from the backcountry or on a family vacation to Mexico.
